The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of commentary by Fatemeh Razavi headlined "Cameron at point zero"
published by Iranian newspaper Resalat on 4 October
The commentator says that the best attribute which can be applied to
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his weak coalition government
is that he is still at point zero. Cameron looks more vulnerable than
ever and the economic and security crisis hand in hand, have made him
incapable of handling the country's situation. Cameron, who came to
power by manoeuvring on the economic weaknesses of the Labour Party,
especially that of the former Prime Minister Gordon Brown during the
previous election, has turned into an incapable leader today.
The prime minster is even unable to give minimum assurance to its
citizens regarding any improvement in the country's economic. The
economic crisis has also affected the British workers. Referring to the
severe loss faced by the British workers due to the economic crisis, a
research institute recently stated that these people's living standards
will not improve in the next four years.
A report published in the UK recently, shows that the income of the
British workers will not increase, and their living standards will not
change in the next four years. According to the report released by the
same foundation, the number of the British workers, which will not get
any hike in their income and salaries and their living standards remains
the same, will rise tremendously by 2015. Senior expert at the
Resolution Foundation, James Plunkett, emphasized that the recent
economic and financial crisis had a severe negative impact on the
British people's living standards. But the thing that will have a
negative impact on the lives of low-income workers more than ever in
recent years is that the living standards of these people in Britain
will not improve.
The biggest and most important question is that when will Britain's
economic growth be resumed and when this issue turn into benefit for the
British workers? The income level of the low-income British workers that
had fallen down before the economic and financial crisis has still not
seen any increase and such issue has a huge negative impact on living
standards of the British workers. It is predicted that British workers'
living standards will not improve till 2015. One can recall that the
British students had held a series of mass protests last year, against
hike in tuition fees and severe reduction in educational and training
programs. The students are planning a new wave of national protests
again in London on 9 November this year. However, these protests have
been reported before organizing a series of strikes and closures that
will coincide with Britain's largest wave of trade union strike since
1926, which will be held by the end of this month.
Without a doubt, various strata of British citizens will join the
students' protests and this issue will give a hard blow to Cameron's
coalition government. British police and government's harsh and inhuman
clashes with the protesters had tarnished the image of the country's
coalition government and the British prime minister. The British
students have announced that they are working closely with trade unions
to deal with the British government's austerity plans. Based on the
students' announcement, their new wave of protests focuses on the
government's plans to privatize schools and university system.
A new study shows that long-term unemployment has become a basic problem
in Britain. A new research shows that one in every five unemployed
Britons make one year of effort to find a job and that the long-term
unemployment has become a basic problem in the country. According to a
report by Total Job, as unemployment has increased by eight per cent in
the last 12 months, such figures are worrying. Based on these findings,
21 per cent of jobseekers who have been looking for work for over a year
were not successful to secure get a job. Indeed, with the current
economic crisis in Britain, how their citizens can be optimistic about
their economic future? In response to the current situation, whether
Cameron once again, will insist to continue with the economic austerity
and increase in retirement age?
Cameron clearly knows that if the protests continue in Britain, his weak
coalition government will be forced to resign. It should be noted that
the British coalition government has been evaluated as a weak government
since its inception by the experts. A number of the British citizens who
support the Liberal Democrat Party are questioning and holding their
leader Nick Clegg accountable. From the beginning, they opposed the
coalition between Liberal Democrat and Conservative Party. Moreover, the
British prime minister and deputy prime minister are spending their most
difficult times in office; and the likelihood of their resignations is
more than ever.
The other major question is how to save the British economy? Indeed, how
can the British officials make claims of saving the country from current
crisis? In the mean time, which part is able to come to power to resolve
Britain's economic, political and security crisis? In this regard one
must emphasize that while economic growth has faced many challenges
during the past few months in Britain, people have reduced their
spending in the retail sector immensely. Many British people agree with
the Labour Party that reduction in the government's expenditure has been
massive and rapid.
However, some British citizens have a bad perception about both, Labour
and Conservative parties, on this issue. Both the main parties of
Britain have shown that they have been unsuccessful in curbing economic
crisis over the recent years. In other words, one can introduce the
Labour Party, as the initiator of economic crisis and the Conservative
Party, the stimulating factor of the crisis. Since the Liberal
Democrats' performance has been weak during the recent years and they
performed poorly in recent parliamentary elections, in such
circumstances, on which party the British citizens can rely on?!
Finally, Cameron has remained standstill on point zero and will not be
able to move forward in upcoming months. Without any doubt, the
students' protests and people's anger may further weaken the coalition
government's condition and at the same time, will coincide with the
unexpected downfall of the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives from

We at Central Baptist Church are happy to announce that those responsible for the vandalism of our church just about two weeks ago, have been identified and have made full confessions to the Menominee County Sheriff's Department. Charges are currently pending as the matter is referred to prosecutors for official charges.
As a church, we continue to pray that justice will be done to these individuals as the legal system now takes over. But more than this, we want it to be clear that we have already forgiven them for what they did and we pray that through these circumstances and the punishment to follow, that they would come to know Christ as their personal Savior. We pray that they would come to know the greatest of all forgiveness, and that is the forgiveness of sin that can only be found in Christ Jesus.
As a church, we want to say thank you to the Michigan State Police (Gladstone Post) and to Sheriff Kenny Marks and the Menominee County Sheriff's Department. Both of these law enforcement agencies did an outstanding job not only investigating what took place, but also pursuing leads until the perpetrators were finally caught. Our community is honored to be served by these brave men and women! Thank you!
Finally, to all of you in the community and to the sister churches that prayed for us during this time, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Lord has given our church a real sense of His presence during this time and has granted great grace through all of this. Thank you for praying for us and for supporting us during the past two weeks.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Love in the Truth,
Pastor Ben

We are in the process of replacing our roof. Our house is currently an UGLY ugly shade of mint green. A new coat of paint would do wonders but I'm stuck. I can't seem to pick a roof color until I commit to a paint scheme. I can't pick a paint scheme until I pick a roof color. I go back and forth.
These are the limitations: The gutters are almond. They can be painted (I think). The windows are vinyl and are almond. They cannot be painted (too much upkeep). We are adding shutters to the windows next to and above the porch. The garage door is paintable and the front door is fiberglass so we can paint or stain it. I lean towards blue/grey schemes but making them work with the almond is tricky. Husband is leaning toward the Weathered Wood roof, I prefer pewter or a different grey but can be swayed to like a warmer scheme. The current photo makes the roof look grey - it is not. It is a brown 3 tab that we are upgrading to an arch. shingle. Owens corning or Timberline colors are available to us.
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't paint gutters unless you must. You don't have to. The Almond windows and gutters are the color baseline from which you have to work. Means you should be looking at warmer tones in the roof category. Driftwood, weatherwoods, Bark type color names are usually where you find those warmer tones. Pewters, charcoals, silver, steel - those are the kind of roof color names that likely will not harmonize easily with the almond windows and gutters. With that said, can not go by color names alone. It comes down to carefully evaluating samples. Sway off from harmonizing the roof color with the baseline elements you have to work from, windows and gutters, and you will make nailing a paint color scheme harder. Choose your roof, ideally get it on the house and then choose new paint color scheme. Blues *might* be an option but it depends on how the roof comes out. |

Ward hg is the result of the first Vortex project designed to create a creature combining human DNA with Crystal. But unfortunately Wardog's DNA was used in the experiment and the gorilla's genes have caused the creature to suffer some quite unexpected side effects. Physically he's the perfect soldier – much to the delight of Dregn - but he seems dogged by one question, "What is the meaning of life?" And Oflgn suspects he may even be pondering the concept of freedom…

I picked up a Musa Basjoo at my local nursery about 6 weeks ago and it has several suckers. My concern is that as the new leaves emerge and unwrap, they are turning a brown and dying off. This includes new leaves on the suckers. Some of the leaves are turning brown even before they unwrap. Any ideas on what I am missing out on or not doing?
I still have it in the planter it came from and am wanting to plant it outside, permamently, but would like to get this under control first. |

I would get it in the ground ASAP, be sure and amend the soil you are planting it in. You are running out of time in zone 6b to get this Musa started before the cold sets in. Be sure and give it water everyday for the first week or two pending on your weather. |

02.24.09 Canadian artist Betty Goodwin (1923-2008) and her husband Martin traveled forty years ago to Medina, Spain for the wedding of their son, Paul. While there, they journeyed to Tétouan, Morocco through Tangier. Goodwin documented her travels in photographs, especially the graffiti that adorned the walls and doorways of many Moroccan villages. She was enthralled by the raw markings, which denoted a moment passed, through remnants of paint-smeared handprints and coarsely scrawled imagery. "I've always had a communion with objects but now more at one with my work. My life is more of a whole. If contemporary art has taught me anything, it's brought us out of our ivory towerright down to open our eyes and see the thereness that we are surrounded byOldenburgDineJohns certainly freed me. Too bad I didn't feel it earlier... Finally I've got myself somewhat in the flow of things instead of looking for some monumental message. I'm content to feel out the being of the thing.Goodwin went on to produce a variety of Vest prints, each examining the idiosyncratic life of discarded objects. By the mid-1970s she had begun to move on, adopting instead the Note and Tarpaulin series, which are a lateral reinterpretation of the same subject material. Adopting a wide range of two- and three-dimensional media throughout the latter part of her career, Goodwin explored in these series a number of formal issues implicit in drawing and sculpture through the subjective depth she had already established. Similar was her use of the objecteven when depicting the figure, form and physicality were more important than identity. Despite individual developments over the years, it seems retrospectively clear that her early explorations of mundane objects will remain her ultimate achievement. If the supremacy of the idea of the banal object over the individual is tantamount to Pop Art, this is where Betty Goodwin and her contemporaries part in significant ways. Her artwork submits that banal products are the witness to people's lives, and are meaningful in that they inform who those individuals are. As Pop has been criticized for its lack of heart, Goodwin offered a bridge between its insistent, aesthetic examination of bourgeois culture and biographical earnestness, finding heart in the face of objective alienation. Even the mundane vest is not but a vest itself, and it captivates viewers as an extension of a life in which it took part. In perhaps the finest praise of Goodwin's sensibility, Gilles Toupin surmises the same: "The human experience that passionately informs her work creates the mystery of a presence, or an absence, or both. Perhaps that is all we have to know. Her secrets defy words, they do not require them."

Hello, I am an inept but determined (novice) gardener, so please bear with me. I inherited a lovely garden with several hydrangea plants in different locations, and of different colors. My problems seem to be the same on all the plants :
very lush, dark green foliage, no flowers, or the flowers start to open but then go brownish and wilt. The flower colour is always much paler than it should be. Some of the leaves on the underside are crinkly brown around the edges and eventually dry up/fall off. Could anybody help me clarify once and for all the basic regimen of these plants, especially how much water and how often to fertilize, what the acid/alkaline levels of the soil should be (depending on the colour I want)... the basics. Thanks VERY MUCH,
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome to the board, Nihal. At first I was very surprised to learn that hydrangea could live at all in Africa. :-) Nevertheless, this plant in general requires substantial shade and moisture (not only a soil moisture, but air moisture as well) if grown in southern regions. Assuming yours are in shade since you have "very lush, dark green foliage" absence or minimal number of flowers could be attributed to not sufficient amount of direct sun for flower buds to develops. It's like a closed circle: more sun will result in a more blooms, but more sun also translates into burned foliage and washed out color of flowers. To find the right proportion of sun/shade/moisture is always a challenge for southern growers. Also, in order to bloom hydrangeas need dormancy period of at least 60 days. Does your climate provide it? I have a family friend who lives in Costa Rica and despite excellent conditions she could provide for hydrangeas they bloom very sparsely because she can't induce them into dormancy for more than 25-30 days. Maybe some Californians and Floridians will chime in and add something. Good luck. |
hI Ego45, thanks for responding. We have a meditaranean climate here, much like southern spain/france/italy so there are plenty of hydrangeas here. Infact, most non-tropical plants grow well in this region, since it is not too hot and, surprisingly, we get about 3 months of rain a year. In response to your question, yes, my hydrangeas have been dormant for a while and are only now starting to revive. It's just that, the budding flower, seems to wilt before it blooms. That's what I am wondering about. That, and the fact the leaves curl up which I suspect is a water problem but i can't figure out if it gets too much or too little water. But you taught me that the more the shade, the darker the foliage, and looking more closely I noticed that the one with the least sun is indeed darker; the others have a fair mix of sun/shade and the foliage is a middle green (and curling leaves!!) It's not yet hot enough for the sun to be causing burnt foliage, and they are mostly on the UNDERSIDE of the plant. Could it be insects?? Anyhow, if you can help further, that's wonderful. Either way, thanks again for your feedback. |

Summary: Being human while trying to scientifically study human nature confronts us with our most vexing problem. Efforts to explicate the human mind are thwarted by our cultural biases and entrenched infirmities; our first-person experiences as practical agents convince us that we have capacities beyond the reach of scientific explanation. What we need to move forward in our understanding of human agency, Paul Sheldon Davies argues, is a r ...show moreeform in the way we study ourselves and a long overdue break with traditional humanist thinking. Davies locates a model for change in the rhetorical strategies employed by Charles Darwin inOn the Origin of Species. Darwin worked hard to anticipate and diminish the anxieties and biases that his radically historical view of life was bound to provoke. Likewise, Davies draws from the history of science and contemporary psychology and neuroscience to build a framework for the study of human agency that identifies and diminishes outdated and limiting biases. The result is a heady, philosophically wide-ranging argument in favor of recognizing that humans are, like everything else, subjects of the natural world-an acknowledgement that may free us to see the world the way it actually is.

This study expands our knowledge about the validity of self-reported drug use by examining how gender, race, age, type of drug, and offense seriousness interact to affect the validity of self-reported drug use. This study also provides a conceptual framework that can be used to examine the validity of self-reported drug use. Differences in the validity of self-reported drug use are explained by examining differences in underreporting and overreporting. Differences in underreporting and overreporting are then further examined while controlling for differences in base rates of drug use. As shown, whether one controls for base rates of use may drastically affect estimates of underreporting and overreporting. By using hierarchical loglinear, logit, and logistic regression models with the Drug Use Forecasting data, we show that Black offenders provide less accurate self-reports than White offenders. Black offenders do so because they are more likely to underreport crack/cocaine use than White offenders. This difference, however, disappears once differences in base rates are controlled. A Black offender who tests positive is not more likely to underreport crack/cocaine use than a White offender who tests positive. Black offenders are also more likely to overreport both marijuana and crack/cocaine use relative to White offenders. Contrary to the first, this difference is not attributable to a difference in base rates. Methodological and substantive implications of this distinction are discussed. No differences across gender, age, or offense seriousness were found.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced steps they are taking to make it faster and more convenient for veterans to access primary health care.
Specifically, primary care has been added to the services available to veterans through the VA's Patient-Centered Community Care (PC3) program. The PC3 program allows VA medical facilities to refer veterans out to civilian medical providers when the VA cannot readily provide the needed care due to geographic distance or limited capacity.
The initial PC3 contracts were awarded in September, 2013 to Tri-West and HealthNet, but they covered primarily specialty and mental health care.
Given the recent revelations regarding veterans' wait times for primary care, we are pleased that the VA has expanded the PC3 contracts to cover primary care as well. It will take some time to build the PC3 primary care networks but, eventually, they will help get veterans off of waitlists by serving as a backstop for the VA. We look forward to learning more about the PC3 primary care implementation and other initiatives VA is undertaking to reduce wait times.
Have you had any personal experiences with your local VA?
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William C. Dudley said the economy may be gaining strength even as the weakest job growth in five months highlights risks to growth.
"The incoming data on the U.S. economy generally has been a bit more upbeat over the past few months, suggesting that the recovery may be finally establishing a somewhat firmer footing," Dudley said according to the prepared text of a speech to the Buffalo-Niagara Partnership in Buffalo, New York. His remarks on the national economy were the same as in two speeches yesterday in Syracuse.
Dudley said yesterday that the central bank may need to keep interest rates low through 2014 in order to lower unemployment from 8.2 percent, remarks echoed by Fed vice chairman Janet Yellen.
Central bankers next meet in two weeks to consider policy for an economy that Dudley, vice chairman of the policy setting Federal Open Market Commmittee, said may be sapped by cuts in government spending and the European debt crisis. Dudley and Yellen backed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's view that progress in reducing joblessness may not be sustained as growth cools.
As president of the New York Fed since January 2009, Dudley, 59, holds a permanent vote on the central bank's monetary policy committee.
He spoke today on the second day of a two-day tour of upstate New York, which featured speeches in Syracuse, a visit Welch Allyn, a manufacturer of medical devices in Skaneateles Falls, New York.

Survivable Traffic Grooming in Elastic Optical Networks—Shared Protection
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 31, Issue 6, pp. 903-909 (2013)
Acrobat PDF (1390 KB)
This study investigates the survivable traffic grooming problem for elastic optical networks with flexible spectrum grid employing new transmission technologies. In such networks, instead of following the traditional fixed ITU-T wavelength grid, optical transponders are capable of properly tuning their rates, and consequently their spectrum occupation, by introducing the fine-granular spectrum unit, called a frequency slot. The number of contiguous frequency slots allocated to an optical path (i.e., lightpath) is adjusted to the current network flow. In this study, we propose a novel shared protection specific to elastic networks, namely, elastic separate-protection-at-connection (ESPAC). It not only provides traditional backup sharing, but also offers a new opportunity of spectrum sharing enabled by the elasticity of the transponders: 1) if the working paths of two connections are link disjoint physically, and 2) if their backup paths traverse two lightpaths which are adjacent on a fiber link, then the two backup lightpaths can share spectrum. The new opportunity of spectrum sharing is realized by using First-Fit to assign working traffic and Last-Fit to assign backup traffic, and allowing spectrum overlap between adjacent backup wavelengths. The elasticity of the transponder enables the expansion and contraction of the lightpaths, thus when a single failure occurs in the network, lightpaths carrying backup flows can be tuned to appropriate rates in such a way that the overlap spectrum is used by only one of the adjacent lightpaths. The results show ESPAC is very spectrum efficient in elastic network setting.

McLean, Va. (Oct. 31, 2013) - In a historic achievement for the food allergy community, the U.S. Senate today passed the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act (H.R. 2094), important legislation championed by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) that will help protect students with food allergies. The bill, introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), encourages states to adopt laws requiring schools to have on hand "stock" epinephrine auto-injectors, which is epinephrine that is not prescribed to a specific student but can be used for any student or staff member in an anaphylactic emergency. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and can be fatal. FARE has been working tirelessly toward the passage of this critical legislation for the last two years. The food allergy community, including FARE, has overwhelmingly supported this and similar state legislation across the country to give schools access to this life saving medication. Since the introduction of the federal bill on May 22 in the House of Representatives by Reps. Phil Roe (R-TN) and Steny Hoyer (D-MD), FARE has been working closely with the bill sponsors, meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill to build support, soliciting endorsements from other organizations and issuing action alerts to advocates across the country. These efforts helped assure passage in the House on July 30 and generated 37 cosponsors in the Senate in less than two months. "We celebrate this milestone together with the many families who have answered the call to write to their elected representatives to urge support of this critical legislation, and we thank the Senate for recognizing that schools must be prepared to protect students with life-threatening food allergies.," said John L. Lehr, chief executive officer of FARE. "This could not have been done without the leadership of Sens. Durbin and Kirk and U.S. Reps. Roe and Hoyer. We look forward to seeing President Obama sign it into law, and to encouraging greater safety in our schools." More than half of states have laws or guidelines in place allowing schools to stock undesignated epinephrine auto-injectors. The federal legislation would provide an incentive for states to require schools to stock epinephrine. Currently only four states - Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada and Virginia – require their schools to stock epinephrine. In addition to FARE, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the American Academy of Emergency Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of Elementary School Principals endorsed the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act.
Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis. This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in every 13 children in the U.S. – or roughly two in every classroom. FARE's mission is to find a cure for food allergies, and to keep individuals safe and included. We do this by investing in world-class research that advances treatment and understanding of the disease, providing evidence-based education and resources, undertaking advocacy at all levels of government and increasing awareness of food allergy as a serious public health issue.

Of course there are tons of different ideas on Google! And a million blogs on how to make them :-) |

I tried to do the spoons and it was too hard to get the letters to stamp in. I had bought 2 sets of letters, one for a non profit that I was helping with a garden. Brought it there and couldn't do it! (Always try things at home before you go public :) I don't know where my set of letters went to. Somewhere in the cellar at one of my dh's work benches I guess. I got very discouraged! Kathy |
Those look great! I buy the old stainless silver ware at Thrift stores and use the use the handles to write the names on, they don't rust when stuck in the garden. Some with the old plastic handles really look good too. You need to use paint pens as no other pens are permanent, Also, the wine corks I label pretty much the same but some I really decorate with beads, etc. to use in house plants or in an indoor kitchen herb garden. Thanks so much for posting your pics, One of these days I'm going to learn how. |

Heart pacemaker
Heart pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small, battery-operated device that senses when your heart is beating irregularly or too slowly. It sends a signal to your heart that makes your heart beat at the correct pace.
Alternative Names
Cardiac pacemaker implantation; Artificial pacemaker; Permanent pacemaker; Internal pacemaker; Cardiac resynchronization therapy; CRT; Biventricular pacemaker
Newer pacemakers weigh as little as 1 ounce. A pacemaker usually has 2 parts:
- The generator contains the battery and the information to control the heartbeat.
- The leads are wires that connect the heart to the generator and carry the electrical messages to the heart.
A pacemaker must be implanted under the skin. This procedure usually takes about 1 hour. You will be given a sedative to help you relax. You will be awake during the procedure.
A small incision (cut) is made, usually on the left side of the chest below your collarbone. The pacemaker generator is then placed under the skin at this location.
Using live x-rays to see the area, the doctor puts the leads through the incision, into a vein, and then into the heart. The leads are connected to the generator. The skin is closed with stitches. Most patients go home within 1 day of the procedure.
Two kinds of pacemakers -- transcutaneous and transvenous pacemakers -- are used only in medical emergencies. They are not permanent pacemakers.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Pacemakers may be used for people who have heart problems that cause their heart to beat too slowly. A slow heartbeat is called bradycardia. Two common problems that cause a slow heartbeat are sinus node disease and heart block.
When your heart beats too slowly, your body and brain may not get enough oxygen. Symptoms may be lightheadedness, tiredness, fainting spells, and shortness of breath.
Some, pacemakers can be used to stop a heart rate that is too fast (tachycardia) or that is irregular.
Other types of pacemakers can be used in severe heart failure. These are called biventricular pacemakers. They match up the beating of both sides of the heart.
All of today's biventricular pacemakers can also work as implantable cardio-defibrillators (ICD), which restore a normal heartbeat.
Possible complications of pacemaker surgery are:
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Bleeding
- Punctured lung. This is rare.
- Infection
- Puncture of the heart, which can lead to bleeding around the heart. This is rare.
A pacemaker can usually sense if the heartbeat is above a certain rate. When it is above that rate, the pacemaker will stop sending signals to the heart. The pacemaker can also sense when the heartbeat slows down too much. It will automatically turn back on and start pacing the heartbeat again.
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs or herbs you bought without a prescription.
The day before your surgery:
- Shower and shampoo well.
- You may be asked to wash your whole body below your neck with a special soap.
On the day of the surgery:
- You may be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before your procedure. This includes chewing gum and breath mints. Rinse your mouth with water if it feels dry, but be careful not to swallow.
- Take your drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
You will probably be able to go home after 1 day. You should be able to return to your normal activity level quickly.
Talk with your doctor about how much you can use the arm on the side of your body where the pacemaker was placed. You may be advised not to lift anything heavier than 10 - 15 pounds and to avoid a lot of pushing, pulling, or twisting your arm for 2 - 3 weeks. You may also be told not to raise your arm above your shoulder for 6 weeks.
When you leave the hospital, you will be given a card to keep in your wallet. This card lists the details of your pacemaker and has contact information for emergencies. You should always carry this wallet card with you.
Pacemakers are often able to help keep your heart rhythm and heart rate at a level that is safe for you. The pacemaker battery lasts about 6 - 15 years. Your doctor will check the batter regularly and replace it when necessary.
